He puts on a pack. Walks into a crowd. And detonates an explosion that will blow him and many innocent bystanders to bits.

An Islamic suicide terrorist.

Sex-negativity is an important part of the system that creates him. But in the studies of terrorists you will find very little about their attitudes to erotic pleasure.

So here is the idea.

Islamic terrorists are almost 100% of an age (16-34) when testosterone levels are their highest in the male lifespan.

Testosterone is an imperious hormone. It commands attention. It compels action. Anyone doubtful about the potency of the chemical need only take a shot or two of it to see its effects.

Testosterone is lusty. It spurs sexual charge and the hunger for release. Exactly as nature intended.

When we resist that powerful drive, we hurt. Our genes want us to pay a price for disobeying commands that have kept our species alive for countless generations.

But imperious religions are threatened by imperious genes. Throughout history domineering religious traditions have sought to subdue the sex drive. Drive it into the shadows of existence.

Islam in most of the modern Middle East, is one such tradition. To be a young man in those cultures and full of the lust that is natural and healthy for a testosterone primed body, is to be sexually unfulfilled.

And the young men who have internalized autocratic Islam the deepest are the most sexually frustrated of all.

In their world, masturbation is a serious sin. Sex education is non-existent. Dating is impossible. Marriages are arranged. Every form of sexual media is criminalized.

To embrace traditional Islam is to be at war with your own sexual impulses.

Consider, for example, Mohamend Atta, the man who led the 9/11 bombings. He never had sex. He was repelled by images of nudity, even classic art paintings. His will instructed that his genitals not be touched during the preparation of his corpse, and that no women come near his grave.

Such uncompromising sex-negativity has predictable outcomes.

First, it diminishes the joy of living. Erotic pleasure is a key element of human happiness. Our genes designed it that way. Remove that source of vitality, and life becomes mundane, dry, rigid. Killing your sexuality makes killing yourself much easier.

Second, constant sexual self-restraint is psychologically de-stabilizing. When the body’s normal impulses are perpetually denied, the part of the brain that exercises that over-control gets unnaturally inflated, impairing our intitution and wisdom. An unbalanced brain becomes highly suggestible. Not anchored in corporeal practicality, thought tends to the preposterous. Absurd ideas become credible. And so the sickening irrationality of the notion that “God” commands the killing of innocent bystanders becomes accepted as true.

Third, the internal war on one’s own sexuality generates rage. Sexually frustrated men are not happy campers. Their testosterone needs an outlet. When women don’t “fuck the war” out of men, they fight.

And sexually frustrated men tend not to be courageous, because real courage requires heart, and the heart withers in the midst of perpetual self conflict and pain. So sex-hating men look for easy targets. Like women, or gays, or ….innocent bystanders with Western values.

The sexually permissive West is a perfect icon of hate for people with deep sexual wounds. If sex is evil then so too are the cultures which normalize it.

Assemble the pieces of this profile and Islamic terrorism is more easily understood. The bodies of sexless men have little to live for. Their minds have much to die for and are primed to accept the most irrational pretexts to justify their demise.

So next time you hear about a suicide bomber, think about their attitude to sex. Think about how hating a part of oneself can cause one to hate everything else.

In their world, masturbation is a serious sin. Sex education is non-existent. Dating is impossible. Marriages are arranged. Every form of sexual media is criminalized.

50 years ago almost the same things occured within out western world with christianity.

There might be some things true written in this article. But the only thing that bothers me is the fact this article puts all Islamic people on the same line and calls them all "terrorists". People seem to forget we too came from such a period. Ofcourse not with explosions and blowing people to bits. But in my humbly opinion crusades were equally worse, not to say much worse.

I'd like to point out about this article that things such as "islamic" should be changed to "extremist believers". A religion is not made/formed by extremist people, it consists thousands of normal well-thinking people who really are innocent. I know what I'm talking about, I know some people who believe in the islam. Good friends of mine actually, pretty cheerfull. Hell, I think some of them are the biggest players I have ever seen.

About this part I haev serious doubts. How can we be sure he never had sex? Because his family told so? Because he wrote it down? Because he told us? Did it never occured then to the investigators he might have been lying? It is easy to rent a hooker in these times, if you are planning it no one will notice. And the hooker.. well... she gets hundreds of men a year/month. Like she will remember how he looked like..

"The messenger of Allah said: "Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, to perform the prayers, to pay the zakat, to fast in Ramadhan, and to make the pilgrimage to the House if you are able to do so." He said: " You have spoken rightly", Jebreel (Gabriel) from Number 2 of "Al-Nawawi's Forty Hadiths." 1 "If anyone harms (others), God will harm him, and if anyone shows hostility to others, God will show hostility to him." Sunan of Abu-Dawood, Hadith 1625. "Those who believe (in the Quran), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians...and (all) who believe in God and the last day and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve." The Qur'an, 2:62 "Jim Jones, David Koresh and Meir Kahane do not typify Christianity and Judaism in the eyes of the civilized West, but those same eyes are prone to see Osama bin Laden and Mullah Muhammad Omar as typifying Islam," Richard Bulliet 2 Estimates of the total number of Muslims range from 0.7 to 1.2 billion worldwide and 1.1 to 7 million in the U.S. 3 About 21% of all people on Earth follow Islam. The religion is currently in a period of rapid growth.

Christianity is currently the largest religion in the world. It is followed by about 33% of all people -- a percentage that has remained stable for decades. If current trends continue, Islam will become the most popular world religion sometime in the mid-21st century.

The Qur'an states that all Muslims must believe in God, his revelations, his angels, his messengers, and in the "Day of Judgment".[16] Also, there are other beliefs that differ between particular sects. The Sunni concept of predestination is called divine decree,[17] while the Shi'a version is called divine justice. Unique to the Shi'a is the doctrine of Imamah, or the political and spiritual leadership of the Imams.[18]

Muslims believe that God revealed his final message to humanity through the Islamic prophet Muhammad via the archangel Gabriel (Jibrīl). For them, Muhammad was God's final prophet and the Qur'an is the revelations he received over more than two decades.[19] In Islam, prophets are men selected by God to be his messengers. Muslims believe that prophets are human and not divine, though some are able to perform miracles to prove their claim. Islamic prophets are considered to be the closest to perfection of all humans, and are uniquely the recipients of divine revelation—either directly from God or through angels. The Qur'an mentions the names of numerous figures considered prophets in Islam, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus, among others.[20] Islamic theology says that all of God's messengers since Adam preached the message of Islam—submission to the will of God. Islam is described in the Qur'an as "the primordial nature upon which God created mankind",[21] and the Qur'an states that the proper name Muslim was given by Abraham.[22]

As a historical phenomenon, Islam originated in Arabia in the early 7th century.[23] Islamic texts depict Judaism and Christianity as prophetic successor traditions to the teachings of Abraham. The Qur'an calls Jews and Christians "People of the Book" (ahl al-kitāb), and distinguishes them from polytheists. Muslims believe that parts of the previously revealed scriptures, the Tawrat (Torah) and the Injil (Gospels), had become distorted—either in interpretation, in text, or both.[6]

GodMain article: God in IslamSee also: Oneness of God (Islam) and Allah Islam's fundamental theological concept is tawhīd—the belief that there is only one god. The Arabic term for God is Allāh; most scholars believe it was derived from a contraction of the words al- (the) and ʾilāh (deity, masculine form), meaning "the god" (al-ilāh), but others trace its origin to the Aramaic Alāhā.[24] The first of the Five Pillars of Islam, tawhīd is expressed in the shahadah (testification), which declares that there is no god but God, and that Muhammad is God's messenger. In traditional Islamic theology, God is beyond all comprehension; Muslims are not expected to visualize God but to worship and adore him as a protector. Although Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet, they reject the Christian doctrine of the Trinity, comparing it to polytheism. In Islamic theology, Jesus was just a man and not the son of God;[25] God is described in a chapter (sura) of the Qur'an as "…God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him."[26]

Venux: I want to point out this topic is about sex and how it can drive certain humans who stick to certain religious dogma's/rules insane because they have a lack of sexual interest and or fear by their religious means. It is not about the islam itself. I believe if we want to know something about it we will just look it up. Pay a little attention to the topic starter and read what his post is about. I'm not here to give orders, just pointing out you better read texts a little closely.

Okay, I got it________________________________________________________________Quote : Dimitrisex and how it can drive certain humans who stick to certain religious dogma's/rules insane because they have a lack of sexual interest and or fear by their religious means. ________________________________________________________________

Sorry if it make you disappointed,but the real is: there is actualy no connection between lack of sexual intersest and the insane attitude of humand.you can ask the docktor about it.Sex is the desire to insertion of the male's penis into the female's vagina.For people have a lack sexual interest didn't mean he/she will do some insane thing, but will hard to make them want to insert the male's penis into the female's vagina.For people who do insane thing, they have some different reason:1.He/she has the strange attitude2.Have a nasty memory in the past3.Circle influence4.And monkey IQDo you got itThat was logical right?

For people who do insane thing, they have some different reason:1.He/she has the strange attitude2.Have a nasty memory in the past3.Circle influence4.And monkey IQ

You know these points you gave to me aren't really reasons. These are more assumptions from your part. A reason could be more like: -fear -religion -preconceptions -...

1) Ever heard of a male vagina? 2) Sex isn't always about 2 different genders sticking each others erogene zones to each other. It is also about masturbation, male-male erogenic zones intercourse, female-female erogenic zones intercourse,... also the less appealing part, interaction with animals. In short definition: pleasing ones own natural desires. 3) A lack of interest in sex can make people insane. The brain needs something else to focus on. This can lead to some weird ideas or a certain degree of mental illness.

Now I ask you, why they must fear with their own religious?I guess your answer is: 'cause they're going to don't believe their religion. (Is that right?)I think you were wrong.'cause they believe if they died in fighting for their god, they will send to heaven.(have you ever hear about that?)Why they must fight for god?There're some reason that make them do that thing:-The big conflict between Palestinians and Jewish-Palestinians claims over the same area of land with Jewish-They prejudice that America support Jewish-The aggression of America to Iraq-Denmark caricature about their Muhammad(it can be right)And do you know in every big organization always have the fool people, so the people who doing suicide terrorism who use Islam name is the fool people in Islam.How 'bout that, I swear you still have many question about that, so I give you this:1.http://www.globalissues.org/issue/111/palestine-and-israel2.http://www.mideastweb.org/briefhistory.htm3.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli%E2%80%93Palestinian_conflict

You should really read more thoroughly. You are putting words into my mouth. I don't like that attitude. Means most of the time the people who acts this way are just full of crap or are seeking attention or confirmation.

I'm not going to reply on your last post, just read my first post and answer thoroughly AGAIN. I know what islam is, I know about the islamic culture, hell I think I even know more about the Islam itself then some extremists. And for the second time: spellcheck please. I find it quite hard to focus on what you are writing.

I was just wondering how the 72 virgins things plays into this. I'm sure everyone has heard that these followers believe by making themselves martyrs they will be greeted in the afterlife by 72 virgins, blah blah blah. With such a negative bias towards sex, how would that be of any interest to the potential suicide bomber?

I think the article jumps to conclusions a bit too hastily since it is quick to place sexual frustration at the root of the entire problem, but it does have a valid point that most suicide bombers are young and probably very much affected by testosterone and typical male hot-headedness. Islamic extremists will say it is the ultimate act of piety, but I suspect they are mostly impatient, self-glorifying losers who don't think straight.

Mohammad himself wrote that the pen of the scribe is more precious than the blood of the martyr. Fundamentalism aside, the neoconservative Islamic world is far too hasty in its urge to wage open war on the western world.

Muslim women are even more sexually repressed than men...at least the young men (mainly the rich ones like Saudi princes) can afford to enter into "temporary marriages" with a girl, and divorce her the next day to get out their "evil" urges. This is merely legalized prostitution, of course. It's a fun time for the man, who usually picks a young virgin to spoil and make her first sexual experience a nightmare. However the young girl is devastated, devalued, and is often unmarriagable because she was deflowered in such a way. The bride price for the temp marriage is generally used by the girl's family to compensate for the lowered price she'll get in a future marriage. Poor families tend to "sell" their girls this way to make ends meet.

To get back to Tala's original point, yes, sexual frustration can be a catalyst for the makings of a terrorist. I'm not sure if it can be linked to the young men and teenagers, however, but it most certainly plays a role in the actions of the older men. The boys who become suicide bombers are much like the young men who join the military straight out of high school here in the US. They want to kill the enemies of their country whether for real or imagined wrongs. They're full of hot piss and want to prove themselves to their family and friends back home. Pride. Patriotism. Sound like a young Army recruit? Or a 17 year old trainee of the al Queda? They're both one and the same.

The female suicide bombers are women who are in a similarly unstable state of mind. They are the ones who are left home all day, with no other outlet for their passions. So these turn to piety and faith, praying all day, and wanting to be a part of something larger than themselves. So they join a terrorist group, and are told the best way to inflict the most damage is to become a martyr. That has to be viewed as celebrity status among these women.

The old men are the ones who indoctrinate these young men and orchestrate the actual terrorist acts, and as such are the ones who are the most to blame. Their years of living in a desert, or a rustic, base-camp lifestyle, earthly pleasures are to be forsaken for the greater good of Allah, the teachings of the Koran having been shoved down THEIR throats at an impressionable age. This kind of physical repression leads to warped thinking, that women, children and other innocents are acceptable as collateral damage in order to inflict fear upon their enemies. Really all they're doing is scaring their own countrymen. Shooting themselves in the foot.
